The lighting here is amazing - it's like a spotlight on our furry performer, who looks as if they are walking onto a stage. The detail and sharpness is perfect and the exposure has been well managed. We also appreciate the muted colour theme, which really lends the frame a peaceful, lazy Sunday kind of vibe. Well spotted and well exposed. Well done!
There is a lot of story in this scene - the painterly light, the colour and contrast all lend it a terrific narrative feel. It looks like an old oil painting. The animal(s) seem to be very content in their play, producing a satisfying triangular arrangement. Very well thought out and executed, with wonderful amounts of atmosphere. Well done.

Uh-oh! We have a feeling this little guy is up to no good! The shallow focus allows us to concentrate on the main subject and the lighting is well controlled. It all comes together to create a wonderful little vignette on this cheeky chap's little adventure. The moment has also been perfectly captured.

This is a great angle! While we can't see exactly where this dog is, the image conjures up images of a warm day in the garden, exploring. The colour and exposure are perfect, with a great balance of natural and artificial light. The focus is spot on too as is the composition, forming a natural frame. Very well done!
The lighting in this scene is lovely. "At home" could mean anywhere the animal feels like it belongs and this canine certainly looks as if she or he feels at home in this forest. The focus is wonderful and lends the overall image a very painterly feels, with some gorgeous soft dappled light on the foliage. A well framed and processed photo.

Pet photography is a hugely popular genre, but for this round we want more than standard portraits. Find a new side to your furry friend ( or scaly, many-legged etc) and capture their personality in a novel way using exceptional light and unique angles.
